LA Fitness

I’ve been a member at Equinox for almost 15 years, and about six months ago I decided to join this LA Fitness. I have never been so impressed with a gym for the cost - this place is an absolute steal. They probably have 2x the amount of machines that Equinox has at any of their locations. The facilities are well maintained, and I was even able to set up a complimentary training consultation with the personal training director, Luke… he has been the most helpful, knowledgeable trainer I’ve ever worked with. The gym is huge - it’s never that crowded because it’s so big. They’ve got a basketball court, which is awesome. Boxing bags, yoga studios, machines for upper body, lower body…the list goes on. Don’t sleep on this gym. I honestly won’t be joining any other gym for the foreseeable future. This place has it all, and for the price, it just can’t be beat. Beautiful views too 👍

First LA Fitness I’ve ever been to that was actually clean from top to bottom everything worked. Nothing was broken. The locker room smelled like laundry detergent. Give everybody in there a raise I’ve been to multiple locations Marina del Rey Bundy, La Cienega, Alhambra, Inglewood all the ones in Hollywood Santa Clarita downtown the only one that competes is the LA fitness on Sepulveda across from Costco‘s. It stinks in that one, but their facility is incredible. Marina del Rey Gym is cool but overpacked and their locker room stinks but this one I am highly impressed better than their signature clubs, especially the one in Encino.

I had my first training session with Luke and it was a great experience. Even in just one session, he and his partner made me feel comfortable and welcome at the gym. They explained the exercises clearly, corrected my form in a supportive way, and made sure I understood what we were doing and why. I’m definitely looking forward to working with them again!

I signed up a few months ago because I wanted something to balance out my heavier training days, and this Universal location has been great. The facility itself is clean, spacious, and well kept. What really stands out though is the customer service. I’ve been to other LA Fitness locations that feel pretty cold (cough cough North Hollywood 😅), but this one is the total opposite. Every time I walk in, I’m greeted with friendly faces and genuine smiles. I’ve honestly never been to a gym where staff remembered my name so quickly. I especially want to shout out Sara at the front desk she’s awesome. Super welcoming, accommodating, and just makes the whole experience better. As a business owner, I really believe the first interaction you have sets the tone, and she does that perfectly. Big kudos to the Universal location team!

The General Manager is really one of the best I’ve seen in the fitness industry. He’s not buff, but he’s kind and caring and I love the way he takes ownership of the gym and ensures that everyone is following the guidelines, cleaning up after themselves, and respectful towards one another. I love great leadership when I see it, and I always feel welcome and supported and that this isn’t just another social media gym, but a community. Well done team!
